Dear all,
Can you guys tell me whether a permanent employee can be made temporary by a company? After 2.5 years of being temporary and 2.7 months of being permanent, can the company make the employee temporary again?

Dear V.S. Your question is not clear. Whether you mean that you are a permanent employee by the length of your long service but your employer keeps you on temporary roll?

Dear V.S, Certainly an employee appointed to a permanent vaccancy, declared to have completed his probation period in the post and confirmed cannot be made later a temporary employee.

Yes, it can be possible as per the terms and conditions of the employee's offer of appointment letter. If there is any clause mentioned in his/her appointment letter, then it could be possible to change the contract from permanent to temporary. Please review the clauses of the appointment letter.

Dear Farmanali,
I have no idea about the relevant labor laws of Pakistan. However, a contract that empowers one party to change or reverse the very nature of the contract at his discretion would be voidable.

The status of the employee, once he is confirmed in service, becomes a permanent employee occupying a post and pay personal to him. This cannot simply be taken away. In certain organizations, the employee, on promotion, is put on probation (such as a worker promoted to a supervisory post or a supervisor being promoted to an executive post) or on a trial period. However, during this period, the employee still has rights over the substantive post he was occupying before such an event, and if the employee is found unfit for the new post, he can only be reverted back to the substantive post. Therefore, the rights an employee has earned on the permanent post held earlier cannot be merely taken away by making him a temporary employee.

To my knowledge, there's only a thin line between the permanent and temporary status of an employee in recent times, especially in the private sector. If the terms of appointment provide for relieving an employee for whatever reasons permissible as per terms and conditions (T&C) and/or HR policy of an employer, observing legal provisions such as due notice conditions, there is nothing like permanent or temporary. However, in PSUs/quasi-government establishments, it does matter as there are adequate provisions to differentiate the status between temporary posts.
Most private employers have no practice of defining a particular post as permanent or temporary. An employee joining an establishment will be treated as 'temporary' until he/she is declared 'permanent' or confirmed.
There could be a possibility where an employee who is confirmed or made permanent in a post gets promoted to a post which may be treated as temporary. In such cases, he becomes 'temporary,' I think so.
